About the Film
The importance of this documentary becomes evident from the way it raised the funds for its production. As the makers of the film had a goal of $20.000, they decided to “plea” through their film site for financial support, in order to conclude it. The result was staggering, since 782 contributors (who are thanked in the beginning of the film) donated $120,000 at the end of the campaign, making it the largest crowd funding campaign of its kind in India, hosted by the filmmakers on their own platform.
Synopsis
The documentary revolves around Arvind Kejriwal, and the rise of anti-corruption protests in India that led him to form the Aam Aadmi Party (Common Man’s Party), with the help of Yogendra Yadav, an academic of politics. The documentary captures the day-to-day functioning of the Party, between December 2012 and December 2013, ending with the New Delhi elections.
